Connected by a universe but otherwise unconnected and can be read as standalone stories. 

I didn't truly connect to either story, but thought TCoWP was beautifully imagined with some interesting themes and a striking ending - 4*

TTM&TD was a 3.5* - I liked the concept and how the story unfolded but didn't love it.
